Republican Fascist Party

The Republican Fascist Party (PFR) was a fascist and pro-German party in Italian politics that existed from 13 September 1943 to 28 April 1945. The PFR was founded as the successor to the National Fascist Party, and it was opposed to the monarchy of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, whom the PFR's leader Benito Mussolini claimed was a traitor after Italy signed an armistice with the Allied Powers. Alessandro Pavolini was the secretary of the party during its existencne, and the party did not outlast Mussolini when he was killed. The PFR collapsed along with the Italian Social Republic in 1945.
